The problem is, before you had to count lines, then figure out it's an "A" and know which A on your instrument it is. With this, you have to learn some English associations by hear…

The difference is, typical guitar beginners want to play certain riffs they already know or are listening to while looking at the tabs or they can easily write down ideas in tabs. …

I think the problem isn't one or two people deciding to manage some 50 lines in an Excel file. The huge problem is that Excel file eventually growing and you start adding sheets an…

Next up: Microsoft Access plugged on top of an Oracle database! So you get super-serious-business db with the frontend-widgets even Office-users can click together! Or think they c…

Please do confirm here once she actually attends, I would love to see how this turns out!

I do not pity you, I do not see you or Africa as only poor. The very reason I am calling you out like this is because I see you as quite "equal". You are clearly not from a poor fa…

Martha, regardless whether this is or isn't a con, I honestly think the only right thing to do would be to take that money and invest it in a local, honest and well-run charity to …

I am sorry, I HAVE to ask out of personal curiosity and to play devil's advocate... What tells me "Martha" even exists and that she was admitted to hackerschool and will actually g…

More often than not, I am wondering just how much complexity one could spare themselves from if they would just use tomcat and postgres/mysql/some-nosql instead of a full-blown ora…

I know this will not be the most popular opinion to voice but you know what? I call major first world problems. By now women (thankfully!) have the right to vote, to study, to pick…

I like this story because it does not end with some explicit or implied "and then I hit it big time ( as a reward for my love )" as if loving what you do and sticking with it is so…

This has for a long time been my only explanation for twitter. All the hash-tag and "centralized communication is awesome" came later. Twitter started out when blogs were popular a…

Doh, now that you point that out... I misunderstood it. Thank you.

Reading about any type of nutrition research has become beyond frustrating to me. There are constantly new results doing away with old truisms only to have those results, in turn, …

Breaking news: people do immoral shit. Regardless of where or when.

I have been saying this for a long time... what we are really seeing in "web 2.0" is actually average folks catching up to what geeks have been doing for a long time, it's only on …

I think the idea that you can just look at that one, oh-so-great management idea at Valve and then just apply it at your own startup or company is just more wrong than it might be …

I honestly wish nothing Eric wrote would ever be linked on HN again. He had his hey-days, he grabbed enough asses at conventions and harassed enough unsuspecting girls and we shoul…

You know, all these allegedly deep and smart "worldly wisdoms" that people who "made it" like to share in hind-sight do not show you the countless other people who said something s…

And non-Dutch Caucasians, for that matter.

Just because certain expressions might still be used today and might not be on the fore-front of racism awareness does not make them any less racist. But you are right, the article…

It is just baffling to me how they were able to pull that off for 40 years and raise infant kids as well with practically no experience or training and no way out, after they had t…
